Frequently asked questions about mackerel.dot
For mobile money, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
How do I keep email and web on mackerel.dot pointed at different providers?
DNS lets you split services: MX records on mackerel.dot route mail to your mailbox host while A/CNAME records send web traffic to a separate web host. They operate independently, so mackerel.dot can use one vendor for email and another for the site. Just keep each record set correct.
When is broader .PAY public registration expected when choosing settle.pay?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.
What information goes into a mackerel.dot application?
A mackerel.dot application typically includes accurate registrant contact details and, where the .PAY registry requests it, information about your payment-related intended use. domain.pay collects what's needed and submits it for you. Begin the application at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing for BNPL checkout?
.PAY can work for subscription billing, account payment, renewal and failed-payment recovery flows. Search brandable options on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. A clear .PAY label can reduce confusion when customers need to update payment details.
Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
